Gas-operated machine gun with tripod and distinctive barrel shroud, drawing cooling air from muzzle to breach along a radially-finned bottle-necked cylindrical heatsink. The Lewis prototype is the first machine gun to be mounted and fired from an airplane; mounted upon a Scarff ring, and loaded with pyrophoric phosphorous ammunition to ignite upon contact with a target fuselage or the surface of a barrage balloon.
